Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

“Mula pa ng aking kabataan madalas akong lusubin nila,” hayaang sabihin ng Israel.

2 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

“Mula pa ng aking kabataan, nilusob nila ako, pero hindi nila ako natalo.

3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

Inararo ng mga mang-aararo ang aking likuran; gumawa (sila) ng mahabang ukit na daan.

4 The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

Si Yahweh ay matuwid, pinutol niya ang mga lubid ng masama.”

5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

Nawa malagay silang lahat sa kahihiyan at tumalikod silang mga napopoot sa Sion.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

Nawa maging tulad (sila) ng mga damo na nasa bubungan na nalalanta bago pa ito lumago,

7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

na hindi na maaaring punuin ang kamay ng manggagapas o ang dibdib nilang nagtatali ng mga bungkos.

8 Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'

Nawa huwag sabihin ng mga dumadaan, “Nawa ang pagpapala ni Yahweh ay sumainyo; pinagpapala namin kayo sa pangalan ni Yahweh.”
